Profile

I am a library professional who strives for more. After getting my BA in English from UCI, I went to San Jose State to get my Master’s in Library and Information Science. After graduating in 2012, I now manage a public library in Southern California. I am currently participating in the Staff Innovation Fund, a series of workshops designed to train the next generation of library leaders.

The Friends found themselves suddenly without a website or web technologist to update it. I proposed several free solutions that suited their needs and did not require any technical know-how for site maintenance. After they selected the Google Sites platform, I created the site and a tutorial to quickly teach them how to update it. They now update and maintain the site themselves, with guest posts by the Ladera Librarians themselves.

After seeing the unacceptable state of library.westwood.edu, I proposed that the valuable information still on the site be transferred to Delicious in the form of social bookmarking. Many of the subjects are completed, but there is still work to be done!
